Bitter Harvest

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

British, and European, agriculture is a victim of its own success. Financial encouragement and technological advance have been embraced but the result today is that too much food is being produced and the cost of storing surpluses is getting out of hand. Bitter Harvest looks at the history behind the success story that's going wrong, discusses what can be done to correct the balance between supply and demand, and ponders the future for farmers.
